Renovated, refreshed, and ready for its next love story, this lovingly reimagined 1850 farmhouse blends old-soul warmth with fresh, modern style. Nearly every inch has been thoughtfully rebuilt—new siding, electrical, plumbing, closed-cell spray foam insulation, windows, interior framing, and interior/exterior doors—bringing the comfort and efficiency of a much newer home. Structural upgrades include reinforced basement beams, new lolly columns, and two sump pumps, offering long-term stability and peace of mind. Step inside to the bright, open-concept living space featuring refinished original hardwood floors and an updated kitchen with custom poured concrete countertops, new appliances, open shelving, and exposed post-and-beam ceilings that beautifully blend contemporary design with classic farmhouse charm. Upstairs offers brand-new rigid vinyl plank flooring, a newly added full bathroom, and a serene primary bedroom with cathedral ceilings, a new ¾ ensuite bath, and a walk-in closet. A finished stairwell leads to the newly completed attic space (~400 sq ft)—perfect for a home office, studio, guest room, or cozy reading nook. Set on 0.6 acres and abutting 80 acres of private land, this unique property offers peaceful wooded views, morning birdsong, and convenient access to local trails, schools, and commuter routes. Owner is licensed real estate salesperson.
